Paleo Pancakes. . . a Saturday Morning Splurge


There is nothing better than sleeping in on a rainy Saturday morning. Oh wait. . . it would be so much better to have pancakes for your rainy Saturday morning snooze fest. Even a Paleothlete can partake in this most delicious tradition, it just takes a little bit of creativity. These were great after my long run Friday night and helped recharge my system.

If you are in the mood for some paleofied pancakes look no further than this very delicious recipe. I was insanely skeptical at how these would turn out, but they were delicious! I decided to double the batch and it fed both my husband and myself very comfortably.


Tropical Paleo Pancakes
  • Pancake Batter
    • 2 bananas
    • 3 eggs
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract (NOTE: we had homemade vanilla extract, but you could use vanilla bean too)
    • 1/4 tsp baking soda
    • 3 tsp finely shredded coconut OR coconut flour
    • splash of cinnamon
    • pinch of salt
  • Tropical Fruit Dressing
    • Frozen OR fresh mango
    • Frozen OR fresh pineapple
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Directions
    • Use a hand mixer to mix all the batter ingredients in a bowl. Put some coconut oil in the pan and use 1/4 measuring cup to make the pancakes. The smaller the pancakes, the easier they will be to flip
    • In a saucepan heat up the frozen mango and pineapple. I just used about a cup of each fruit.  Add the vanilla extract. When hot, use the hand mixer to chop up all the fruit into a smooth consistency.
    • When pancakes are cooked through, drizzle with the tropical fruit dressing
    • ENJOY!!!!
